Sheffield-born former children’s laureate Anthony Browne has put pen to paper for charity.

The 68-year-old writer and illustrator has submitted a doodle to raise cash for Epilepsy Action.

His drawing was up for auction on the internet, along with doodles by other celebrities, including Barnsley’s former Test cricket umpire Dickie Bird, former England cricketer Darren Gough, from Monk Bretton, and Barnsley-born broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson.
